New Presidential Limo: Clean Lines, Possible Tear Gas Cannons

A new bulletproof chariot will lead Tuesday’s inauguration, according to Cadillac, which released a few details about the new Presidential Limousine. In a press release, Cadillac noted the president’s elegantly-lined limo shares the “intricate, dual-textured grille made famous” by the company’s Escalade and CTS sports sedan models and features hand-sewn interior elements. Though it didn’t stop illustrators from speculating, details on the new Cadillac Presidential Limo weren’t outlined, except to say that Obama’s new ride was “subjected to an extreme testing regimen” to make sure it carries out its “functional requirements” – you know, like hailing aircraft carriers or dialing in a strategic nuclear strike.
